Tips For Teachers In Quilting Lessons

By Linda Ruiz


Teaching in a quilting class can be very much fun for you as a teacher. You can find yourself having a wonderful time but only if you are adequately prepared for the quilting lessons. You also have to always have a positive attitude and you will find yourself teaching in the most wonderful places. The following are some of the steps that you must observe to have a successful class.

If a person is a new teacher in some particular location, they can conduct a study of the area regarding this particular subject to get additional information. They can look for similar teachers to get their view on the techniques of teaching they could use. They can join a quilting association if it is accessible in the region to meet more individuals who have the same interests like them.

They could later create a plan that summarizes the areas in quilting they are comfortable teaching. When making any notes, they should make sure they do not use any work that is not their own without the permission of the owner. There are many quilt designers who can be more than happy to share their work so ask first to avoid being sued for copyright.

After preparing yourself for the lessons, now prepare the materials for the class. At this step you can prepare some samples that you will use to teach your students. Make brief notes that explain each step of the sample. Also include the measurements and all the materials that were used. You may also include a partially finished project that will help the students to understand how every step should appear.

The instructors must make sure that they have a complete list of all the required materials for the lessons. The list should be cross-checked to make sure nothing is missing. If the learners do not have all the materials the class will fail to run smoothly. The instructor can also make brief notes that will remind them of how the class should be conducted. These are not the same as the notes for all lesson.

The location for the classes must be arranged early. The teacher should prepare an application for getting the location and later check out the area to make sure it has the necessary things like a chalk board. This place should also be sufficiently spaced for all learners to park their vehicles. The place must also be well protected.

During the class, there should always be interaction between the instructors and the students. The teacher must always know the students by their names and maybe a little more about them like where they live. The instructor should make rounds in the class to get involved with the students as they do their projects.

When teaching you should also be careful not to make the slow learners feel like the period is in a race. Teach according to their level of understanding to make them feel part of the lecture. Always ensure the students have your attention before teaching them an important lesson.
